Important Installation and Upgrade Information Pre-10.3.0 requires modification scripts If you are upgrading from a pre-10.3.0 version of the application and have not previously done so, apply the SQL script to update the system fields with sub-attribute type of CreatedDateTime to CreatedDateTime (Number) and ModifiedDateTime to ModifiedDateTime (Number). Scripts for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server are located on the upgrade disk in the \Scripts folder. Instructions are within the scripts. You can apply the script regardless of the platform version, but you MUST apply the script before upgrading the Application. For Oracle, run SetVarcharColsToNumeric_ORCL.sql. There are two scripts for MSSQL, SetVarcharColsToNumeric_MSSS.sql and SetVarcharColsToNumeric_MSSS_Publish_BO.sql. Run SetVarcharColsToNumeric_MSSS.sql first. When it completes, run SetVarcharColsToNumeric_MSSS_Publish_BO.sql. Do not delete OM packages for pre-10.5.0 application upgrades If you imported pre-10.5.0 application upgrade packages into an environment on platform version 3.5.0 or 3.5.0.1, please do not delete the packages from the Object Migration tool. Additionally, do not delete the notifications related to the import of these packages. Object Label cleanup will run the first time the AppServer is started on platform version 3.5.2 and higher to ensure that the Root object label is applied appropriately to modules, business objects, forms, queries, and workflows. Packages and notifications are used for tracking purposes to clean object labels for modules, business objects, forms, queries, and workflows that are incorrectly given the In Progress or ObjectLabelInProgress object label when you did not modify them. If notifications related to the imports have been deleted, the object label cleanup will still run, but any in progress labels given to an object by a manual modification will be changed to the Root object label, if the manual change happened on the same day as the pre-10.5.0 application upgrade on platform version 3.5.0 or 3.5.0.1, and by the same user who applied the upgrade. If application upgrade packages have been deleted from the Object Migration tool, the object label cleanup will not be able to ensure that the Root object label is applied appropriately to objects imported by those deleted packages. Pre-10.4.0 localization changes require republish of business objects If version 3.5.x or higher is your first version of TRIRIGA Application Platform, please disregard this release note. If you are upgrading from 3.4.x/10.4.x please read this release note. If you upgraded the platform to 3.4.x but did not also upgrade the application to 10.4.x, many business objects must be republished to support localization changes. You can do one of the two options. Make sure you do either option BEFORE the installation of TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.0 or higher. NEVER do either option after upgrading to 3.5.0 or higher. Option 1: To republish all of the business objects, you can follow the instructions given in the Publish_all_BOs_For_localization_MSSS.sql or Publish_all_BOs_For_localization_ORCL.sql scripts, which are found in the scripts directory of the Application Upgrade disk. You use the ORCL script for DB2. Option 2: You can choose to manually republish the business objects. The following business objects, listed with business object name first and module name in parentheses, need to be republished: Classification (Classification) Cost Code Container (triCostCode) © Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. 8

IBM TRIRIGA 10.7.0 This release includes important information, known limitations, and changes to IBM TRIRIGA. Important Information The following items are important information concerning IBM TRIRIGA that are newly added for this release. For Important Information related to previous releases, see the Release Notes page on IBM Support. Area of Impact Description Lease - Asset and Real A clean installation of IBM TRIRIGA 10.7.0 will clear the Database Server field Estate that is found at Tools > System Setup > General > Application Settings > General tab > TRIRIGA Server Details section. You must enter the value manually in order Reporting to run BIRT disclosure reports for lease accounting. (Tri-59574) System Setup Lease Accounting – Although amounts associated with pre-commencement payments and receipts for GAAP and IFRS Initial Direct Costs, Prepayments, and Tenant Incentives are correctly included in the calculation of Rent Expense, the unamortized carrying amounts associated with these three items are not currently included in the Accrued Liability balances in the Accounting Schedule nor are associated amounts included in the periodic Accrual column. The unamortized carrying amounts for Initial Direct Costs, Prepayments and Tenant Incentive at the end of each period are however visible in the Accounting Tab in the two sections called Straight Line Rent Schedule and Incentive Schedule Before Lease Commencement. Lease Accounting – If a lease starts mid-month with a partial month payment made, TRIRIGA GAAP and IFRS calculates the NPV of the future lease payments by initially calculating the NPV based on a full-month payment as if the lease commenced on the first day of the month. TRIRIGA then adjusts this NPV by an amount equal to the imputed interest derived for a full first month multiplied by the number of days in the pre-commencement period of the first month as a fraction of the total number of days in the first month of the lease. Lease Accounting – In lease scenarios containing the Payment in Advance provision, the sum of short- GAAP and IFRS term liability and long-term liability amounts do not equal the total liability, as a portion of short-term liability is segregated into the accrued interest balance. Therefore, total liability will equal the summation of short-term liability, accrued interest balance, and long-term liability. In lease scenarios containing the Payment in Arrears provision, the sum of short-term liability and long-term liability amounts equals the total liability. Lease Accounting – Information pertaining to leases that have not yet commenced but that create GAAP and IFRS significant rights and obligations for the lessee, including the nature of any involvement with the construction or design of the underlying asset, has to be obtained from outside of TRIRIGA. Lease Accounting – Sale and leaseback transaction functionality is not currently available in TRIRIGA. GAAP and IFRS Lease Accounting – When processing modifications or impairments and selecting a fiscal period (i.e. GAAP and IFRS month) to indicate the effective date of the event, the system does not currently © Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. 12
Area of Impact Description support the ability to choose a specific date within the fiscal period and therefore TRIRIGA defaults to: • Modifications being processed as of the 1st day of the fiscal period selected • Impairments being processed as of the last day of the fiscal period selected UX Framework The UX triplat-number-input displays correctly when the number is smaller than the number of decimal places specified in the display mask. For example, in the Add Material pop-up in Work Task Services Perceptive App, 0.001 will be shown as .00 when the display mask is set to two decimal places if the field's value is less than .005. Previously, a blank was displayed. (Tri-54061) UX Work Task App When using the UX Work Task app on Windows tablets, Android tablets, and some Android phones in landscape mode, the End Time field and the Comments field in the Time Entry dialogue may be hidden by the virtual keyboard. As an alternative, the user should switch to portrait mode. (Tri-52469) Known Limitations The following items are known limitations concerning IBM TRIRIGA and are newly added for this release. For Known Limitations related to previous releases, see the Release Notes page on IBM Support. Area of Impact Description Globalization A user with RTL enabled may experience issues when trying to view a Gantt schedule, an Availability chart, or the Availability tab in the Reserve UX app. (Tri-66232) Lease Accounting - Currently in TRIRIGA, there are two tabs: GAAP 1. The Clauses, Options & Terms tab allows you to enter the purchase, renewal, break / terminations options details like effective date, likely or not likely, and the amounts associated with the options. 2. The Accounting tab allows you to select yes or no for the following two questions for lease classification under the GAAP Classification section. - Does property transfer ownership at end of lease? - Is it reasonably certain at commencement date that the purchase option will be exercised at the end of the lease? Currently, the two tabs function independently of each other. Therefore, you must ensure that information entered on the tabs is not contradictory. If the question “Is it reasonably certain at commencement date that the purchase option will be exercised at the end of the lease?” in the GAAP Classification section of the Accounting tab is “Yes,” even though there is no purchase option created in the Options tab or a purchase option is created but “not reasonably certain” at commencement, there is no attention message to inform user. For more information on this functionality, see the description of Tri-65972 below. © Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. 13
Area of Impact Description Lease Accounting - TRIRIGA does not support cases where modification results in lease GAAP reclassification from Finance lease to Operating lease. Lease Accounting – Adjustments to an upfront incentive amount can be carried out by adjusting the GAAP and IFRS incentive payment schedule and associated payment line item. 1. If the payment schedule start date is after today, use the Update or Split Payment Schedules option to adjust incentive amount. Both the payment schedule and payment line item will be adjusted. 2. If the payment schedule start date is before today, then two adjustments should be made: Step 1. Use the Update or Split Payment Schedules option to adjust the incentive amount on the payment schedule. Step 2. Use the Update Only Payment Line Items option to adjust the incentive amount on the payment line item. 3. If the payment schedule start date is today and the payment line item is not paid yet, use step 1 from above. If the payment schedule start date is today and the payment line item is already paid, use step 2 from above. Lease Accounting – All BIRT disclosure reports, except for one report, are designed to retrieve data GAAP and IFRS directly from the database using SQL statements. As a result, the column name that is referenced may not be the same in your TRIRIGA database. Since these (Limitation known reports retrieve data directly from the database, the different SQL statements since 10.5.3.1) are written separately, one for Oracle/DB2 and another for Microsoft SQL Server. TRIRIGA 10.5.3.1 currently supports three database servers: Oracle, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server. Lease Accounting – For BIRT disclosure reports, when the lease classification is changed from GAAP and IFRS Operating to Finance within a lease, the disclosure reports will run that lease with the current classification alone. The reports do not yet support two (Limitation known different classifications for different periods. since 10.5.3.1) Lease Accounting – For separation of current and non-current assets and liabilities, segregation GAAP and IFRS between short-term and long-term liability is available in the respective accounting schedules in TRIRIGA. However, the disclosure reports do not provide the segregation between short-term and long-term liability. Lease Accounting – In scenarios where a change is made to the lease which results in a recalculation GAAP and IFRS of the lease schedule, the Gross Asset Value in the revised lease schedule is larger than the Current Asset Value, which is unexpected from an accounting perspective. This value should correspond to the total amount of amortization that will be calculated over the lease schedule subsequent to the change. The values currently stored in the schedule are working in TRIRIGA as currently designed. Lease Accounting – Partial calculations of index adjustments are not currently supported. GAAP and IFRS (Limitation known since 10.5.3.1) © Copyright IBM Corporation 2020. 14
Area of Impact Description Lease Accounting – The currency conversion for BIRT disclosure reports only supports the Default GAAP and IFRS currency conversion group. (Limitation known since 10.5.3.1) Lease Accounting – The following limitations currently apply to incentive adjustments: GAAP and IFRS • Support for an adjustment of incentive amount is available only for incentive (Limitation known schedules added before activation. since 10.6.0) • After adding new incentive schedule at the modification, any adjustment of existing incentive schedules is not supported. • For an incentive schedule adjustment, both payment schedules and payment line items should be separately adjusted. • A new incentive schedule that is added after the modification cannot have the same date as an existing incentive payment schedule. If this happens, the new incentive amount will not be included. (Tri-52727-IJ06586-IV99840) Lease Accounting – TRIRIGA currently supports only two asset types: Asset Lease and Real Estate GAAP and IFRS Lease. (Limitation known since 10.6.0) Lease Accounting – When attempting to carry out short-term lease accounting (straight-lining in ASC GAAP and IFRS 842 and IFRS 16), if the Include in Amortization checkbox is cleared, TRIRIGA currently does not generate a straight-line schedule. Lease Accounting – When doing an amendment to adjust payments that are based on an index lease, GAAP and IFRS a user can only adjust payments using Update Action = Update or Split Payment Schedules on the Payment Adjustment form to cause the variable that results (Limitation known from the index to become a fixed payment. since 10.5.3.1) Lease Accounting – When processing a payment adjustment, the Update or Split Payment Schedules GAAP and IFRS option is not supported for one-time payment schedules. (Limitation known since 10.5.3.1) Lease Accounting – When setting up an index lease with multiple index clauses, the system uses the GAAP and IFRS clause type to group the index clauses. This is for the purpose of calculation comparison. (Limitation known since 10.5.3.1) Lease Accounting – When transitioning a lease previously classified as an Operating lease under IAS17 GAAP and IFRS to IFRS16 with the modified retrospective approach, TRIRIGA measures the ROU Asset using Option 2, referencing the KPMG guidance (Limitation known (https://www.in.kpmg.com/ifrs/files/Leases-Transition-Options-Nov-2016.pdf since 10.5.3.1) page 19).

For example, the today’s fiscal period is 03 – 2020 and the end date of this period is 3/31/2020.
